Studies at the University
My name is Mary. I’m a student of the Ufa State Aircraft Technical University or USATU in short. I’m in my first year at the University so I’m a freshman. I’d like to tell you about the life at this University.
Last year I left my secondary school and in summer I took entrance exams in mathematics and physics to enter the University. I have passed all the exams and now I’m lucky to be a student. I study full-time that’s why I’m a full-time student. Most of the students study at day-time departments. But some students who have full-time jobs study at evening and correspondence departments. They are part-time students and students by correspondence accordingly.
The University where I study is the biggest University in our republic. There are 7 departments there and it consists of 8 buildings. I study at Informatics and Robotics Department so I major in Software Development. Though it’s rather difficult to study here but I like studying. Every day we attend lectures and practical classes in physics, mathematics, chemistry, history, philosophy, English and others. At lectures we listen to a lector and take notes, sometimes we ask questions and discuss some problems. At practical classes in English we usually do exercises, ask and answer questions, read, translate and discuss texts, also we make up dialogues and work in groups. Sometimes we go to the library to get some extra information.
During the big break we have lunch at the canteen which is in the 3 rd building or we have snacks in buffets.
Many of day-time students receive state scholarship and the students who come from other towns are provided with hostel accommodation. I live in a hostel because I come from Neftekamsk. Some students who don’t want to live in a hostel rent rooms or flats.
In winter at the end of the term we are going to take exams. If we pass exams we’ll study next term. If we fail exams we’ll read up for exams again and resit them till we pass them. After that we are going to have winter holidays.
Speak about Mary’s life.
Read and translate the following sentences and pay attention to some grammar problems.
I’m in my second year at the University so I’m a sophomore.
I study at the Aircraft Engineering Department so I major in Aircraft Engineering.
I study part-time that’s why I’m a part-time student.
I rent a room because I come from Sterlitamak.

На английском языке. My University
My name is Alexey Ushakov. I’m 18 years old. I would like to say some words about my university. I live and study in Krasnodar. It is a large city in the southern Russia. It is located on the Kuban River and is the administrative center of Krasnodar region. There are many universities and colleges in Krasnodar and the city is full of students. However, I chose to study in one of the biggest universities in the city, the Kuban State University. My branch is philology and I’m going to become a teacher of foreign languages. KubSU was founded in September 1920. Since then it has trained over 100,000 specialists, including a large number of foreign students. In 1994 KubSU was ranked by the Russian government as one of the leading institutions of higher education in the country. I am currently a student of this university and I’m proud of it. I know that many teenagers dream of studying here but the entrance exams are not easy. I had to study hard to become a student of this university. At the moment, I’m also a member of Student Union Committee and I take active part in everyday student life. Our Committee is responsible for the improvement of student facilities, coordinating such student events as concerts, sport events, fund-raising activities, volunteer work, etc. KubSU is also a member of the European and Eurasian University Associations. That’s why we often have international conferences held at the university. There are also frequent international programs based on educational exchange. Last year, for example, I had a chance to go to England as a member of such exchange but I still had a couple of exams to pass. So, I decided to postpone this opportunity. I hope I can participate in this program next year.
Перевод на русский язык. Мой университет
Меня зовут Алексей Ушаков. Мне 18 лет. Я хотел бы сказать несколько слов о своем университете. Я живу и учусь в Краснодаре. Это большой город на юге России. Он расположен на реке Кубань и является административным центром Краснодарского края. В Краснодаре есть много университетов и колледжей и город полон студентов. Тем не менее, я решил учиться в одном из крупнейших университетов города, Кубанском государственном университете. Моя отрасль филология и я собираюсь стать учителем иностранных языков. КубГУ был создан в сентябре 1920 года. С тех пор он подготовил более 100 тысяч специалистов, в том числе и большое количество иностранных студентов. В 1994 году КубГУ был награжден правительством России как одно из ведущих высших учебных заведений в стране. В настоящее время я студент этого университета, и горжусь этим. Я знаю, что многие подростки мечтают обучаться здесь, но вступительные экзамены не из легких. Я усиленно учился, чтобы стать студентом этого университета. На данный момент, я также являюсь членом Комитета студенческого союза и принимаю активное участие в повседневной студенческой жизни. Наш комитет отвечает за улучшение условий для студентов, за координацию таких студенческих мероприятий, как концерты, спортивные мероприятия, мероприятия по сбору средств, волонтерская работа и т.д. КубГУ также является членом Европейской и Евразийской ассоциаций университетов. Вот почему у нас в университете часто проходят международные конференции. Существуют также частые международные программы, основанные на образовательном обмене. В прошлом году, например, у меня была возможность поехать в Англию в качестве участника такого обмена, но мне нужно было сдать ещё несколько экзаменов. Поэтому я решил отложить эту возможность. Надеюсь, что я смогу участвовать в этой программе в следующем году.

«Мой университет» — топик на английском с переводом, в котором вы найдете много интересным фраз по теме учебы в институте. Текст «My university» поможет вам составить рассказ о своем учебном заведении.
The University of Milan is one of the largest and most essential universities in Europe. It is also a member of League of European Research Universities and it is the only Italian university which is included in the group of twenty-one research-intensive European Universities.
The university consists of 9 schools which include the school of law; medicine and even veterinary medicine schools; agricultural and food sciences; pharmaceutical science, political, economic and social sciences; science and technology; exercise and sports sciences, school of humanities and finally, Linguistic and Cultural Mediation Sciences school. The last one is the place I study in.
I have been studying at the University of Milan, which is simply called UniMi or Statale among students, for almost 2 years and I do enjoy studying there. The program is various and challenging and we have competent and qualified professors. In addition, we have an opportunity to choose subjects and courses.
However, the Italian education system is not easy to understand. I still have a lot of doubts regarding some aspects. Even if I got used to the knowledge assessment system and to the methods of teaching, I sometimes arrange appointments at the secretariat to dispel all my doubts and get the answers to the questions.
I am glad to be a student of such a prestige university and I hope to graduate with highest marks.
Перевод:
Миланский Университет – один из крупнейших и важнейших университетов Европы. Он также входит в Лигу европейских исследовательских университетов и является единственным итальянским ВУЗом, включенным в группу из 21 университета.
Университет включает в себя 9 факультетов, среди которых: факультет права, медицины и даже ветеринарии, факультет сельскохозяйственных и пищевых наук, факультет фармацевтики, политических, экономических и общественных наук, научно-технический, гуманитарный и, наконец, лингвистический факультеты. Последний – тот факультет, на котором учусь я.
Я учусь в Миланском университете, который проще называется среди студентов UniMi или Statale, уже почти 2 года и мне нравится здесь учиться. Программа разнообразная, сложная, но интересная, а также наши преподаватели – компетентные и квалифицированные специалисты. Более того, у нас есть возможность самостоятельно выбирать предметы и курсы.
Однако итальянскую систему образования не так просто понять. У меня до сих пор есть некоторые сомнения, касаемо некоторых аспектов. Несмотря на то, что я привыкла к системе оценивания знаний и методам преподавания, я все же иногда записываюсь в секретариат, чтобы развеять свои сомнения и получить ответы на вопросы.
Я рада, что учусь в таком престижном университете и надеюсь закончить его с высшими отметками.

Higher education plays an important role in the life of any country as it provides the country with highly-qualified specialists for future development and progress. In all industrial countries standards of living are steadily changing. This means that styles of teaching, quality of learning materials and organization of the university itself have to be continuously brought up to date and improved. The scientific and technological progress of a country is determined by the qualification of specialists.
Ufa State Petroleum Technological University is one of the largest and most prestigious institutions not only in Bashkortostan, but in Russia too. It trains young people to become engineers in oil and gas industry. We are all proud of being students of our university. It was founded in 1948 as Ufa Oil Institute and in 1993 it got a university status. There were only 150 students and 3 faculties at that time. Now it has 3 branches (in Salavat, Sterlitamak and Oktiabrsky) and trains 14,000 students at eight faculties:
2. Oil and Gas Mining
3. Pipeline Transportation
5. Technological
6. Architecture and Building
The head of the university is Rector. Each faculty has a number of specialized chairs and is headed by dean. The course of studies lasts 5 years. The academic year begins on the 1-st of September; it lasts nine months and is divided into two terms. Students take exams at the end of each term. Twice a year students have vacations – two weeks in winter and two months in summer. The first – and – second year students obtain thorough instructions in the fundamental sciences, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and drawing as well as computer engineering and a number of others. It is known that the knowledge of the general engineering subjects is necessary for future engineers. The curricular are enriched and broadened by instructions in such subjects as foreign languages, history and economics. The third – year students get more advanced knowledge and begin to concentrate on their special interests, so to say, on their “major” subjects and take many courses on these subjects. Specialized study help students to become specialists and prepare them for their future work.
Theory is accompanied by practice. We’ve got a lot of laboratories, classrooms, libraries, computer centres, workshops to provide high level of training. The university is in close connection with oil enterprises, so our students can have their practice in oil plants, refineries, pipe-line construction sites, at research institutions, oil and gas companies and other places throughout the country.
Students are provided with student’s hostels. The students making good progress get state grants. Some of students are sponsored by enterprises.
In their spare time students may go in for sports in our own sports centre, attend computer centres, dance classes, English theatre and other societies and clubs.
Education is a process through which culture is preserved, knowledge and skills are developed, values are formed and information is exchanged. Education is the way to success!

There are 44 universities (not counting the Open University) in Britain. Although the Goverment is responsible for providing about 80 per cent of universities income it does not control their work or teaching nor does it have direct dealings with the universities.The grants are distributed by the Secretary of State for Education and Science.
The English universities are: Aston (Birmingham), Bath, Birmingham, Bradford Bristol, Brunel (London), Cambridge, City (London), Durham, East Anglia ,Essex, Exeter, Hull, Keele, Kent at Centerbury, Lancaster, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne, Nottingham, Oxford, Reading, Saford, Sheffield, Southhampton, Surrey, Sussex, Warwick and York. The federated University of Wales includes five university colleges, the Welsh National School of Medicine, and the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology.The Scottish universities are: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Belfast, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt (Edinburgh), St. Andrews, Stirling, and Strathclyde (Glasgow).In Northen Ireland there is Queen"s University, Belfast, and the New University of Ulster in Coleraine.
The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge date from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and the Scottish Universities of St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. All the other universities were founded in the nineteenth or twentieth centuries.
There are five other institutions where the work is of university standard: the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology ; the two post- graduate business school which are supported jointly by industry and the Government - the Manchester Business School and the London Graduate School of Business Studies, associated with the London School of Economics and the Imperial College of Science and Technology ; Cranfield Institute of Technology for mainly post- graduate work in aeronautics and other subjects ; and the Royal College of Art.
My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions - and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the Past, the Present and even the Future. It"s easy to see both how the past has moulded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this University town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University begins, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. As was the custom then, they had joined themselves into a "Universitas" of Society - the word "University", like the word "College", meant originally a society of people with a common employment ; it was only later it came to be associated with scholarship.
These students were all churchmen and had been studying in Oxford at that city"s well-known schools. It was a hard life at Oxford for there was constant trouble between the townsfolk and the students. Then one day a student accidentally killed a man of the town. The Mayor arrested three other students, who were innocent, and by order of King John (who was quarrelling with the Church and knew that the death of three clergymen would annoy it) they were put to death by hanging. In protest, all the students moved elsewhere, some coming to Cambridge; and so the new University began.
There took place a new quarrel with the townsfolk, for the University was anxious to be independent of the Town, and the Town was equally anxious for authority over the new student population. "Town" and "Gown" battles were frequent.
The boarding-houses and shopkeepers cheated the students, who very soon organized themselves under an elected leader called a Chancellor, and he fixed prices that should be paid. Gradually the University gained control.
Side by side with the fight for freedom from Town rule was another for liberty from Church rule, until by 1500 the University was its own master at last. Of course there were no Colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from every - where. Those from the same part of the country tended to group together and these groups called "Nations" still exist, by the way, at some European Univer- sities.
The students were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually, the idea of the College developed and in 1284 Peterhouse the oldest College in Cambridge, was founded.
Life in College was strict ; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance.
